Perfect Fudgy Brownies
Get ready to make the most delectable brownies you’ve ever tasted! This recipe yields a batch of rich, gooey brownies that are just bursting with chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now! This step is optional but highly recommended for an extra chocolatey experience.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut into squares and serve. These brownies are perfect on their own, or you can pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
Enjoy the rich taste of these perfect fudgy brownies! They’re great for a party, as a gift, or just for a cozy night in. Happy baking!
